I don't fancy the friction on those camalots...
other than that, f*ing awsome!, judgeing by those bolts, you can change it to offwidth/fingers? cuz that would be rad! (but not quite trad...)

Very nice crack machine. How did you attach it to the wall?

Looks like if you fell, and your pieces pulled, you could land on the couch.

For yous guys and gals who are wondering about the construction, our Crack of Doom is made of 2x12s 8' long, on 1' fully-threaded 3/8" bolts. We can make the cracks as small as 3/4" or as large as 8". The right-most boards are screwed into 2x6s (that the face climbing wall is mounted on) that are screwed into outside wall studs (unknown size, hopefully not too small...). Also, I added another 2 boards to the left so there are 2 cracks now :) I'll post a pic of it sometime soon. Lastly, unfortunately, it can't go [edit] vertical. Yet. :twisted:

Should have made it overhanging, the way it is now it just takes up space (granted not that much). An overhanging rig would actually improve you crack climbing prowess.
